This was my first time trying Flouring Cake Shop in Chinatown, and it's honestly some of the best cake I've ever had. We tried almost all of the flavors they offered, except for pistachio, and every single one was unique and decadent. The buttercream is incredibly smooth and adds the perfect amount of moisture, making each bite really delightful. We also tried the chocolate chip cookie, which was very good. It had a crisp, slightly crunchy exterior, while the inside was soft and a little underdone--but still delicious, especially if that's the type of cookie you like. These cakes are exactly what I imagine a wedding cake should taste like. Definitely one of the best cakes I've had and a must-try. read more

A flash of emerald light exploded across my consciousness! The delicate crumb structure shattered like silk beneath the tines, revealing layers of vivid green sponge interwoven with cream so ethereal it could only have been crafted by angels--or demons masquerading as pastry chefs. The pistachio flavor struck first--not merely a taste, but a DECLARATION. Pure, unadulterated essence of Sicilian nuts, roasted to absolute perfection, ground into submission and transformed into something transcendent. The cream filling cascaded across my palate like a Mediterranean breeze, while subtle notes of butter created a symphony that left me defenseless! But the assault wasn't over. The black sesame cake sat before me, ominous and alluring like midnight itself. One bite, and suddenly I was falling through dimensions of flavor! The nutty, earthy depth of toasted sesame seeds wrapped around me like a silken robe, each layer revealing new secrets. Sweetness balanced perfectly against that characteristic bitter edge--yin and yang achieved in cake form! The texture? Impossibly moist, almost sinful in its richness. Finally, the berry pavlova delivered the knockout blow. Crisp meringue SHATTERED into a million crystalline fragments, giving way to clouds of cream and an explosion of berry compote that was simultaneously tart, sweet, and utterly devastating. A culinary arena where only the strongest taste buds survive! read more

Flowering Cake Shop in Chinatown Los Angeles is such a lovely little spot. It's located in a really cute shopping plaza, which makes it a fun place to stumble upon while exploring the area. They had so many delicious looking cake options that it was hard to choose, but I went with the pistachio cake and it was amazing. It was so good it didn't even make it home. The staff was also very kind. The cashier, whose name I didn't catch, was really sweet and took the time to answer all of my questions without rushing me. Great desserts, friendly service, and a charming location. I will definitely be coming back to try more flavors. read more

Love that this bakery has so many Asian flavors. We got the Black sesame and Italian pistachio. Both were tasty - not too sweet but very smooth. It does come out of the fridge and requires some time to "defrost" so may be better for takeout. There is a few two-person patio seating but overall seating is pretty minimal. read more

I've been eyeing this place every time I go stationery shopping next door and I'm mad at myself for not going in sooner! Love everything I've tried here. Absolutely delicious cake and cookies. I got the Devil's Dark Chocolate Cake Bar and my partner got the Passion Fruit Cake Bar. Both were soooo good and the frosting was perfect and not too sweet. I'm usually not a big fan of passion fruit sweets because they tend to be too tart, but this passion fruit cake was the perfect balance of flavor. The employee working was very kind and gave us plates and forks so we could enjoy it at the tables right outside the shop. As great as it is, prices are high ($4.50-5.00 for a cookie) so I can't justify coming here more than a few times a year. If the prices were a little better, this place would be perfect! I enjoyed the ube sprinkle cookie at home and I'm so sad I didn't buy more! I hope this is a permanent fixture on the menu because I definitely need to splurge and buy more than one the next time I'm here. read more

Flouring Cake Shop - Beautiful Cakes & Unique Flavors in Chinatown Flouring Cake Shop is one of my favorite spots in Chinatown LA. The shop is decorated in lovely shades of purple and has such a charming atmosphere. The staff are always friendly and helpful, which makes every visit enjoyable. The cakes are gorgeous--often decorated with edible flowers--and taste just as good as they look. The texture is slightly light (not heavy like typical American cakes), and the buttercream is smooth and not overly sweet. They offer both slices and whole cakes, with creative flavors like passion fruit, lavender lemon, black sesame, and strawberry. Besides cakes, they also have unique desserts like Pavlova with yuzu, buttery shortbread cookies, and oat scones that are a delicious cross between a scone and an oatmeal cookie. Everything I've tried has been thoughtfully made and flavorful. If you're looking for a special cake or just want to enjoy a refined dessert, Flouring is definitely worth a visit! read more

I wish I could order cake from here everyday! You get what you pay for and this is QUALITY! I am obsessed with the presentation and the floral decorations, not to mention each flavor is incredibly decadent, delectable, and unique. I bought this for a small team birthday celebration and we have some picky eaters, but they LOVED it! I also appreciated that we could get the cake delivered. That was convenient, especially since they're located in downtown. Consider me a loyal customer as I WILL be ordering again. read more

Such a lovely cake spot. My friend got her daughter's 1st Birthday cake here and when I tried it for the first time, I was blown away by how good it was. I decided to come to the store to try out their other flavors. Parking can be tricky here as it is in Chinatown. There is metered parking in front of the store and across the street. The store itself is small, but also sold little items/candles for your pastry needs. The lady inside that helped me was super friendly and helpful. I ended up going for the Lemon/Lavender, Pistachio, and Ube Coconut. I appreciated that they sold individual slices as well as mini cakes and large cakes. It's a little on the pricier side, but the quality does it justice. My favorite is 100% the Pistachio, the top is filled with crushed pistachio bits and the frosting was perfect, not too sweet at all! The Lemon Lavender Marble was really good too. The Ube Coconut was more on the sweeter side as opposed to the other two. Will be bookmarking this place for future events and birthdays. Enjoy! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would!!!!!!!! This is the worst place ever rude staff and I found a cockroach wing in my cake!! DO NOT COME HERE

I happened to walk past this spot while exploring chinatown and decided to buy some sweets to share with my gf. I ended up getting a strawberry cake bar and a passionfruit cake bar. Both cakes were quite delicious and similar to traditional cakes. I really liked the density and rich taste of the creams, as well as softness of the cake layers. They weren't overly sweet like your typical american cakes either. Overall, great cake bars. If parking wasn't such a hassle in chinatown, I would frequent often for more. read more

Been wanting to check this place out for a while now. Cute little shop in Chinatown. I was lucky and found metered street parking right in front of the store. Stopped in to pick up my preorder box of truffles that were special for Mother's Day. I tried all the flavors and I loved that it was light, sweet, and small so that it was easy to share in my family. They don't eat a lot of sweets anymore so it was a great purchase for us. The flavors were not overpowering and I love the light texture to it. I've also tried the black sesame yuzu pavlova from here. Nice combo and you could really taste each flavor. There's some seating outside if you want to enjoy your desserts a little. But mostly a take and go place. read more

Delicious as always! This time we got the seasonal carrot cake, pistachio, and lavender lemon! We left each out for about an hour on a rainier/cold day and the carrot cake and pistachio were perfect. The lavender lemon cake is a little denser and the butter cream didn't get to quite the right texture but was still good. The carrot cake was moist and the cream cheese buttercream was delicious! If you're looking for something sweeter and nuttier then the pistachio is a great choice. For those that like a more subtle taste, the lavender lemon will always be a good choice. It's a softer flavor with the lavender hitting first but ending on the lemon flavor makes it taste so light and clean. read more

What an absolutely beautiful cake shop. Each cake is beautifully decorated with fresh flowers. Had a slide of the PASSIONFRUIT CAKE BAR and what a marvel it was. The cake itself is spongy and light as an angel and full of flavor. The buttercream is soooooo rich and yummy and very much done properly. The CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE is delicious too. The ESPRESSO CHIP SHORTBREAD is amazing and goes very well with coffee!! The lady was so patient with me and my girls. Man, if you see me bring a cake from here to you, I must like you a lot because their cakes are not cheap... but I can tell you now, it is worth it. They had a cake bar sampler if that's your kind of thing. There is no seating inside but there are a couple of small tables in front of the door where you can quickly enjoy your cake if you can't wait to get home before enjoying your dessert. read more

This Chinatown based cake shop is definitely not one to overlook! It sits beside Thank You Coffee (also recommend!) and their small yet elegant shop has some of the most tasteful (both visually and tastewise) you will come across! My boss got me a cake sampler when it was my birthday and was so impressed by them that I decided to get my partner a cake for her birthday. I used their online ordering which was so convenient as you can customize your message (optional), when you would want to pick up the cake, and pay ahead. Note that parking is rather limited in this location, and I had to doublepark and quickly retrieve my cake. However, if you end up going on a less impacted day you may be able to easily find metered parking or pay at a nearby lot. The cake itself was so beautifully crafted with edible flowers. I choose a passionfruit flavor with passionfruit buttercream and a white cake. I got the smallest size, but don't let the size fool you--you can certainly get many tall slices of the cake depending on how you cut it. We were able to share this cake among 4 people and have plenty to enjoy throughout the following week. I may try the other flavors on the menu like black seasame or ube. If you're looking to support a small AAPI biz this the one to check out! :) read more

Located in the bustling part of Chinatown you'd surely miss Flouring Cake Shop if you were whizzing down Hill Street. Tucked in a small cluster of shops, the oh so purple decor will catch your eye if you are walking by. We popped our heads in as we waited for our coffee next door. From flower adorned cakes to gorgeous pastries to custom cakes and merch on display..it was quite a task asking us to pick just one or two items to try. We settled on a pistachio slice and a brownie bar. The shop is teeny tiny with standing room only so take your dessert to go and find a sunny spot to enjoy. We enjoyed our dessert and coffee at home. Yummy sweet goodness! The reviews I've read have raved about their passionfruit cake so I will definitely be back for that. read more

I haven't had great recommendations based on taste and likes. This place does it all. The service was superb. I got a free salted chocolate chip cookie and let me tell you, it's beeen years I've had a decent cookie. The gingerbread cake was both tasty and enough. Not too much sweet not too much gingerbread cookie flavor. I also sampled the chocolate cake as the cashier walked around giving out samples.

Tried twice already! Heard about the bakery through a podcast actually. I went on a Friday 2pm towards the end of the day and the cookies were almost gone. Cookies: tried the ube sugar cookie- good The espresso cookie-warning it will keep you up at night if eaten towards the night Salted chocolate chip was solid. Order the tasting cakes-$45 We were pleasantly surprised with flavors each one was a hit. The order was for 6 pieces, but they added an extra chocolate to the tasting! I don't know if they do that all the time, but that was a pleasant treat trying it. Passion fruit Lavender lemon Black sesame Were some of the stand outs. I got cake and a pavlova brownie the first time. Parking could be tough. Had to park across the street and jaywalk over. Order the tasting cakes online. Order them for pick-up. They emailed and ensure for a smooth pick-up. Service was quick as they knew they were expecting me. Ambiance is so cute! Like classy and fantasy-like. They pavlovas with the fruit, look stunning. haven't tried yet but want to come back to try. read more

Got a cake and the lady was a bitch. The cake frosting was oily. And the cake itself was dry. I dunno. I want to support female owned business, and support Asians, but nah.

The quality of the food lives up to the price of the items i ordered tbh! It's right next to where sesame LA is, outdoor seating which ngl in this weather is not a vibe but it would be great in the fall! the total for two slices and the keylime pavlova was about $23. my mom really liked the pavlova and how tart it was, and i personally think the pistachio and passion fruit slices were not too sweet (thank god)! it was fluffy and creamy... honestly the texture of the passion fruit cake is divine im definitely going to order a full size for my next special occasion! read more

The storefront of Flouring Cake Shop might be small and cozy, but the cakes here are mighty. And by that, I mean mighty delicious. Nestled in the heart of Chinatown Los Angeles, this dessert shop features custom cakes, cake slices, and other various sweet treats. Parking can be a pain, but it's worth a stop here anyway. The cake slices are pretty small and around $7 per slice. But as someone who can appreciate a good slice of cake any day, it's worth the splurge for a scrumptious treat. The cakes are decorated beautifully and artistically with lovely edible flowers and have a variety of interesting flavors. I can especially appreciate the inclusion of Asian-inspired flavors which tie in nicely to its location. For my flavors, I tried Passionfruit, Ube Coconut, and Lavender Lemon. The Passionfruit was certainly my favorite (and my husband's, too, judging by how often he dug into it), followed by Ube Coconut. All of the flavors came through in both the cake and buttercream and the texture of the cake had a nice density and was moist. I'll certainly return to try more cake flavors when I'm in the area. read more

UPDATE: these were better the next day, so updating my review to 4/5 instead of 3/5. As a baker, I was SO EXCITED to try this place and ready to love it. The amazing decorating, the adorable storefront, interesting flavors... what's not to like? The cake itself, apparently. The lemon lavender was really nice actually. The woman described it as 'like earl grey' and while I don't love the tea itself, I love earl grey flavored desserts. My partner usually hates lemon desserts and actually liked this one. It was nice, but nothing to write home about. The rest was... lackluster. The strawberry was so subtle it barely tasted like strawberry, the chocolate has flavorful frosting but a mid crumb, and the passionfruit was just okay - a nice bright pop of flavor, but with oddly unsweet frosting that was probably intended to balance the whole thing out, but just took the wind out of its sails instead. The oreo was the most disappointing, and in fact one of the most disappointing baked goods I've ever tried (meaning, measuring hype and the presentation against the actual cake itself). My partner was most excited to try this flavor, but then called it flavorless and didn't even finish his piece. I agreed - I wouldn't have been able to identify it as oreo flavored in a blind taste test. These cakes are GORGEOUS and maybe we just had an off day, but this was a big miss for us. If you still want to try it, def get the lemon lavender! read more

If I could have one last treat before I died, it would be the passionfruit cake! This cake shop is absolutely amazing! Every cake is soft, heavenly, and perfectly flavorful! I've never had a bad one. My favorite is their sampler, which I always get for my birthday or to gift to friends and family on theirs. It's such a treat every time, and I can't recommend it enough! read more

The cakes and shop are absolutely beautiful. I stopped by a half hour before closing on a Saturday and they were still pretty well stocked. I got a slice of the Devil's Dark Chocolate and Passionfruit. I LOVE anything Passionfruit, however, I think this cake could have used more passionfruit. The cake texture & flavor was not my cup of tea (crumbly & vanilla-y) and there was a tad bit too much buttercream. It was denser than I expected, but the layer of passionfruit jam was amazing - I just wish there was more of it. On the other hand, the Devil's Dark Chocolate blew me away!!! It was super moist and had the perfect ratio of cake to frosting. Parking sucks but at least the staff was friendly! I'll definitely be back! read more

Visited Flouring for the first time on the day of the grand opening. Upon arrival I couldn't help but notice and admire the huge purple balloon display. Without it, you might miss the bakery. Located off Hill St. in the historic heart of Chinatown, Flouring adds a pretty and yummy new bakery to the Chinatown cake and cookie scene that has been dominated by old school Phoenix bakery and Queens bakery. Flouring is the new brick and mortar for what had previously been a successful online business. Seeing a fresh new business move into a historical building makes me excited for what Chinatown can be in the years to come. Nearly everything at Flouring has edible flowers. The gorgeous cakes and cookies all look amazing. And while to prices for whole cakes made me do a double take, everything here is a work of art. Exerting some control, I got three items and basically devoured all in a couple of days. That way I can return and try other items. Chocolate raspberry pavlova (4/5) crispy yet chewy pavlova with a good quality chocolate and fresh raspberries. Meringue topped brownie (5/5) unexpectedly decadent, dense and rich. The light crunch of meringue with the almost rich fudge like texture was lovely. S'mores (5/5) I really liked this bar. From the toasted gooey marshmallow, rich chocolate middle and crumbly graham crust, it was all so delicious. While waiting in like, we did get samples of the sesame cake and citrus shortbread cookie. I liked the sesame cake and probably should've gotten a slice. But the cookie (albeit pretty) wasn't yummy. The Flouring shop is charming and pretty. I even got a few purple scrapers. Service was friendly and helpful. Parking is metered street. I'm glad that my friend invited me to the grand opening. I enjoyed the festivities (especially the lion dance) and happy to add a new bakery to my list of favorite places to get dessert.

Fine, but nothing to write home about. I also prefer my cake a little more velvety/dense/plush/more flavorful, these are just soft and fluffy. 3 slices of cake for $23 They are a good size to share between 2-3 ppl. Matcha cake with red bean was my fav, but the matcha could have been more prominent. Lemon lavender didn't taste like perfume, but had a good balance. I believe the last slice I had was a mixed berry one.. Buttercream wasn't like sugar, no need to scrape off extra. Drove from oc to get here, found parking on the street on a weekday. Weekend sounds more like a mission given the businesses in the area. Service was ok, I had to ask if the cakes had to be left out or not, which they do so that the buttercream + cake can be eaten at room temp and not be hard straight from the box. read more

I first tried Chef Heather Wong's cake at Natasha Pickowicz's bake sale held at the Far East Plaza. I remember loving the texture, whipped cream, and edible flowers--it was the perfect not-too-sweet dessert. I was happy to learn that her shop, Flouring, was just around the corner. One day, when I was doing some research at the CHSSC, I stopped by after lunch to pick up some sweet treats to take home. The charming little storefront is all purple and not only serves cake, but also pavlovas, cookies, and other desserts. I got a passion fruit cake slice (tried and true favorite) and a sesame yuzu pavlova. I am not the biggest fan of meringue unless it's on a lemon tart/pie, but was won over by Flouring's. The texture was so fluffy and delicate and meshed so well with the citrus and black sesame, which, IMO, is a feat since black sesame and yuzu can have such strong flavor profiles. I'll be back! read more
